About HeartSpace Clinic

Our Mission

HeartSpace Clinic helps individuals and families access therapeutic and educational services to heal from stress and trauma, regardless of their ability to pay. We nurture the mind-body connection with high quality, compassionate care.

Our Vision

We envision a community where every nervous system is nurtured, creating a ripple effect of awareness, connection, safety, and hope as shared experiences.

Our History

The dream of HeartSpace Clinic began after Dr. Lawrence started training in Somatic Experiencing, a body-based treatment developed by Peter Levine.

At that time she was the only clinician in mid-Missouri practicing in this method of treatment. Her exposure to the use of the body in treating trauma opened up many other possibilities for helping - including the use of the Safe and Sound Protocol and HeartMath. Her idea was to grow a program that could offer these innovative services to many more people than she could serve alone. She has created an incredible treatment team of clinicians who are passionate about what these services can offer anyone who has suffered from trauma.
